This book deals with the rapid, eco-friendly and convenient method of synthesis of parent calix 4]resorcinarene (basic calix platforms) using microwave irradiation technique. The basic calix platform has been further functionalised as its ester and hydrazide derivatives. In effect, two calix 4]resorcinarene hydrazides i.e. one having twelve and other having four hydrazide groups on the periphery of basic calix platforms have been synthesized. The structures of all basic calix platforms and their derivatives have been confirmed on the basis of various physico-chemical techniques such as...

The principles and phenomena outlined within this book are the basic concepts of nanochemistry which can lead to intricate and complex designs that form the heart of the many facets of nanoassembly from various nanomaterials. Detection of chemical and biological agents plays a crucial role in medicinal filed, forensic, agricultural, environmental and electronics. Development of sensitive methods which allow identi cation of toxic metals anions, biological important metal ion and biomarkers such as proteins and nucleic acids provide the prospect of better health, more effective therapy and on...
